Eight Flags Jeep Club has taken a stand and joined hundreds of other Jeep enthusiasts by becoming an official "Tread Lightly!" member to keep the outdoors healthy, open and accessible and to promote safe and responsible four-wheeling.

TREAD PRINCIPLES:

Travel Responsibly on land by staying on designated roads, trails and area.

Respect the Rights of Others including private property owners, all recreational trail users, campers & others so they can enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed.

Educate Yourself prior to your trip by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies.

Avoid Sensitive Areas on land such as meadows, lake shores, wetlands & streams. Stay on designated routes.

Do Your Part by modeling appropriate behavior, leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species and repairing degraded areas.

7th Annual KRAWL'N FOR THE FALLEN
Florida International Rally & Motorsport Park (The FIRM)
Starke, FL
Didn't get many pictures this year due to the drizzly rain. A couple of our Jeeps got stuck in the mud, no biggie, and overall a good day for a good cause- to honor those that lost their lives in the line of duty and raise money for their families.

JEEP GIRLS 101

Thanks to Irene & Billy for conducting our first informal Eight Flags Jeep Club "Jeep Girls 101" class. It was fun, informative and easy to understand. And thanks to Terry for grilling up some mean hot dogs afterwards. This time we worked on sand, Jeep Girls 102 will focus on some off-roading. Our Eight Flags Jeep girls rock!

Sorry guys- this one was for the ladies!
